HOLLAND CASTIGATED.
« BY SIR JAMES ALLEN.
(By Wire.—Own Correspondent.)Wellington, Last Niglit.
When tlie third reading of the Appro-priatiou Bill was being taken to-mglit,Mr. Holland, chairman of the LaborParty, came in for a vory severe castiga-tion from the Minister for Defence. Mr.Holland made a lengthy and detailedstatement regarding Miss Rout's anti-venereal campaign in Franco. He alsoattacked certain officers, and protestedagainst the treatment of military de-
( faulters.I Mr. Massey said he objected to tin
detailed nature of Mr. Holland's remarksregarding Miss Ilout's campaign, andsuggested the galleries ought to becleared.
"The hon. member for Grey," said SirJames Allen, "has displayed rightthrough this war three characteristics—-the first is a spirit of vindictiveness, andthe second is a spirit of disloyalty tohis King, to his country, and to the
: men who went from this,country to fightfor freedom: lastly, from what he hasdone to night, he is a reveller in filth.He is vindictive, disloyal, and a reveller
| in filth."
THE APPROPRIATION BILL.
SOME OF ITS PROVISIONS,
(By Wire—Own Correspondent.)Wellington, Last Night.
The Appropriation Bill passed byParliament to-day provides for the ap-propriation of £ 12.243,000 out of theconsolidated fund, £3,040,4*87 from thepublic works fund, and £2,247,611 outof separate accounts.
Tho compensation promised by thePrime Minister and the Government tocompensate the butter producers for ex-penditure under the equalisation fund isprovided, the sum being £340,000.Superannuated public servants doing ex-tra services for the Government aftertheir retirement are not to suffer lossof allowances if the aggregate amountreceived as pay and allowance does notexceed £26 iis per month.
A clause in the Bill enables the Gov-ernment to pay to the Governor-Generalhis salary and allowances for threemonths after his appointment has ter-minated. A new clause authorises theCommissioner to pay to any. officer ofthe clerical or professional divisions ofihe public service an increment in ex-cess of that provided for in the classifi-cation list if the officer has shown spe-cial merit. The Commissioner is au-thorised to extend the maximum salaryfor any class by an amount not ex-ceeding" £2O per year. The former pro-vision comes into operation at the endof the present financial year and the lat-ter at the beginning of the present year.Authorities are taken for the paymentof additional salaries in certain cases toofficers of the post office who have re-ceived increments of less then £45 inthe regradin?. The amount of such in-crease is limited to £2O per year.
DISTRICT NEWS.' 1
PUNGAREHU.(From Our Own Correspondent),
Weather permitting, sheep-sheriTing opera-tions in ■ this district v;ill scon be in-activepursuit, and Indications'are that it will be a_■fairly pood clip. As far as is Known to datethis is the last year of the Imperial requisitionwhich, oi' course, covers this season's wool.After the valuation it will be 'possible to givea better idea of the quality and prospect ofthe clip. In connection- with the later lamb-'hifr, this has been extremely good, with veryfew losses, tind it is expected tho percentagewill..be qui'e up to that of last year.
Labor Day passed off quh?tly at Puncarohu,thero beim: function hold here of a publicnature. The Labor Day sports, held at NewPlymouth, proved a preat source of attractionto many parties from this and surroundingdistricts. Business premises were all closed
us usual The glorious weather tempted manypicnickers, both residents and visitors, outGpunahe's beach, where a most enjoyable timewns spent, many of the hollday-inaUera indulg-ing in their first "dip" this season.
It is now nearly a fortnight away from theanniversary of tho bicj outbreak of influenzathroughout New Zealand and it is satisfactoryto see 'hat the sijms and portents do not in-dicate a serious recurrenco of the complaintin its de'adly form, and it is not anticipated jthat we shall be visited with the malady in jits acute form.
Lovers of Mie broad bean Will rcsraT to learnthat the energetic bumble bee is likely to
cause the crop to be a failure 'his year Thereason is that the beo punctures the blossomto extract honey, with tho result that theflower withers and drop? off, which means nobeans, One farmor states, that an area heplanted will practically not yield any beansthis year, and in private gardens similar dam-ays is being done.
With the two new hands recen'ly encaged by Ithe local factory manager, tho cheese fac-tory is now fully staffed for tho present 1season.

CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE TRADE.
A meeting in the interests of the Na-tional Efficiency Campaign was held inthe Empire Theatreon Wednesday night,when the speakers wore all returned sol-diers. There was a fair attendance.
Captain Hartnell presided, and in in-troducing the speakers said the questionof national efficiency was exercising theminds of the people of the whole world.
Mr. Sim, the first speaker, referredto the general attitude of the soldiersito the question at the time of the lastpoll taken, and assured the audience theT.loderate League, who were the onlymouthpiece of the liquor trade, wouldnot be able to hoodwink the men, mostof whom were now back, as they haddone on that occasion.
COST OF THE TRAFFIC.Passing 011 to the cost of the liquor
traflio to the country Mr. Sim said NewPlymouth probably spent £40,000 perannum on liquor, and he asked whatthere was to show for it. The productof the trade was to be seen in the gaols,inebriate homes, asylums, and hospitals.He asked if the proposal to erect a po-lice station at Moturoa looked like aprogressive step for the community. Inspeaking of State control, he said thecountry already had State control,What the proposal of the ModerateLeague was meant State purchasePersonally he did not believe the State,which was the people, wanted to pur-chase the liquor traffic. Wherever Statecontrol had been tried it had been afailure.
The next speaker was CaptainHawkins, who set out his reasons forbeing against the liquor traffic. Hesaid he had no quarrel with any manconnected with the trade, but was rightup against the business; because of itsintolerance, its hypocrisy, its avariceand greed, and the cowards it made ofmen, and the wreck it made of the livesof women and little children and homeswherever it entered. He would fightit until it could find no safe place be-neath the stars of the Southern Cross,and until he himself "went west."Captain Hawkins referred to the state-ments which lie called "lying,'' usuallypublished just on the eve of a poll, bythe trad 1. when there was jio oppor-tunity to refute (hem, regarding pro-hibition in America. The rcTply to all ofthem now, however, was that Americahad gone drv from east to west.
STATE CONTROL.The speaker then <:ealt with the rev-enue question and endeavored to show
the audience that in reality the liquorbusiness only collected the revenue de-rived from the sale of alcoholic drinks,ans that ;ti fact it was paid by thepeople. One-fifth of the money spentin liquor was all that went into theState coffers, the rest into the pocketsof the brewers. Prohibition was a pro-posal to the people to keep for them-oelves the whole of the money nowspent on liquor. Captain Hawkins thensaid that although the vote was lost inApril last, some advantages had conicto the cause of prohibition. Now, in-stead of having to wait 4.} years lor theeffect of a prohibition vote it wouldcome into force on the 30th of the Junefollowing the date of the pell. The
| bare majority had been granted; andI the compensation issue had now beensettled.
He then dealt, with the real proposal[ of the State control advocates and saidthey propose;] that the people of NewZealand should pay «t .least £0.782,500for that which was valued bv the Gov-ernment Statistician, according to theYear Book, at £4,998,150. He alsodealt with the matter of employmentgiven by the liquor business and therate of wages paid, over certainperiods, the figures being taken from theofficial records, and showing that for themoney invested the percentage of menemployed and wages paid wras very low.
DRINK IN THE DOCKYARDS,The speaker then quoted from a re-
port made to the Admiralty in theearly stages of the war on the effectsof excessive drinking by men employedin shipyards ami munition works, whichwas to the e fleet that men were actu-ally doing less work than when thecountry was not at war, and that insome cases repair work 011 warships wasso badly done that those who made thereport believed it could not have beendone by men who were not drunk. Itwas on the strength of that report thatMr. Llovd George tried to shut down onthe drink trade, and that the King ban-ished alcohol from his household.
Captain Hawkins Anally denlt withthe moral aspect of the question, andmade a strong and eloquent appeal fora strong vote in favor of prohibitionfor the sake of the boys of to-day, tosave them from becoming the victims ofth? traffic in the future.
Several questions were answered byboth speakers, and at the conclusionvotes of thanks were accorded them anda similar compliment paid to tlie chair-man..
ELTHAM.
(From Our Own Correspondent.)Eltham, Nov. 5.
The School Committee met-on Wednea>day evening, Mr. I. J, Bridge in the-chair.
The inspector's report was read, anda resolution expressing the satisfaction-of the committee and congratulating thestaff and pupils on the results waspassed.
: The (chairman reported that he hadteen unable to obtain a custodian forthe baths, and they would, therefore, notbe available for the public, but arrange-ments had been made for the cleaningand filling, so that the children couldfuse tbein.
The question of a technical day schoolwas introduced by the chairman, whoread a letter received from the Educa-tion Board, pointing out the facilitiesat the Hawera and Stratford schools andthe railway concessions. After discus-sion, in which most of the committeetook part, it was decided to call a publicmeeting to discuss the question of estab-lishing a technical day school in Eltham.
A letter was received from theBorough Council granting a picture Irene-fit night on about November 27.
We are beginning to take a real in-terest in the elections now, and meetingsof the various parties are held and com-mittees set up. The Liberal League meton Tuesday night, and the usual routinework was gone through, a strong com-mittee being set up to assist Mr. Ast-bury.
Mr. Hawken opened his campaign hereto-night. There was a good attendance,and the candidate received an attentivehearing. Question time was lively andgood humored, a fair number of ques-tions being put, and answered by thecandidate, most of them in connectionwith labor.

The Daily News.FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1919.
THE SESSION.The last session of what may betemedj the Dominion's WarParliament came quietly to an endon Wednesday night. It was arecord Parliament in every senseof the word, for it was prolongedto cover almost five years, and themain portion of its work wasdevoted to legislation connectedwith the greatest war in history,and not until the session whichhas just terminated was attentiongiven to the urgent mattersaffecting the welfare of thecountry and its people. Thecommencement of the session wasmarked by the disappearance ofthe National Government, onwhom had devolved the oneroustask of meeting the exigencies ofthe war, and party governmentwas resumed. It may justly be
' claimed that, in spite of the nearapproach of the General Election,members on both sides of theHouse set to work with goodpurpose to endeavor to solve theurgent problems that awaitedlegislation, and they are tobe commended for the goodresults achieved.. Under thecircumstances whereby Mr.Massey faced the duties ofthe session, after a long absenceof both leaders i'rom the country,considerable arrears of ordinarylegislation, the pressure of thenew problems, and finally thetermination of the Coalition, it isnot surprising that in the earlydays of the session there was anunreadiness to submit importantlegislation to the House, but whenonce the Cabinet was rearrangedand the Government got into itsstride there ensued a mostcommendable activity in sub-1mitting measures which will makenotable additions to the StatuteBook. It cannot be denied thatthe Opposition played- the game,not only by, not harassing theGovernment with hostile tactics,but in giving it assistance toimprove and facilitate the passingof useful legislation. The fly inthe ointment was representedby the numerically insignificantextreme Laborites who stand forSocial Democracy, and the vials oftheir wrath were mostly emptiedon the Liberals, whom theyevidently regard as deadlyenemies, while IndependentLabormembers sho"\ cl clearly they hadLabor's best interests at heart,and were doing more towards therealisation of Labor's aspirationsthan were the extremists. Thesession lasted only ten weeks, butin that time it passed fifty-fiveActs, twenty-two local Acts andone private Act, while forty-sevenpublic Bills and three local weredropped. It is only fair to thePremier to give him creditfor displaying to advantage thequalities of leadership in atime of adversity and unusualdifficulty, whilst it must alsobe acknowledged that the Leaderof the Opposition was not in. theleast behind Mr. Massey in vigorand constructive ability. Theimportant measures passed are thefirst instalment of legislation tomeet the requirements of the time.The platforms of the two partiesare nearly alike in many rspects,consequent on their reflectingthe expressed demands of thepeople, hence it was only naturalprogressive legislation should beto the fore. The disorganisedrailway service and labor troubleshave been disturbing elementsduring the session, but they are,it is to be hoped, merely passingphases. A square deal has beengiven to the returned soldiers asto gratuities, settlement on theland, and vocational training. Acommencement has been made tosolve the housing problem, and anhonest attempt made' to deal withother important matters affectingthe people. A moderate pro-gramme of public works has beenlaid down, and probably as muchas eould possible be expectedwith the limited finances availablehas been provided for withoutincreasing taxation. The work
1 Rf the gesaion Jvill pave the way
for a more important programmeby the new Parliament, and withthis the people must be contentfor the time being.
LOCAL AND GENERAL.
Tlio opening of the Park Tennis Club'sSeason, which was to liave taken placeyesterday afternoon, was postponed. Anumber of members were on the courtsand spent ail enjoyable afternoon.
' Recently when being driven ,iearAVa/ingake (Uis'borne) a motor lorry,through engine trouble, hacked over adeclivity and fell 800 feet, ending up illa total wreck. The driver was not on
! the machine when it fell over the cliff.The New Plymouth Borough Council
lias accepted the tonder of Messrs.Payne and Blanchard, £9351, for theconstruction of the intake and tunnel
i for the new hydro-efectric extension.The contract is subject to slight modi-fications.
At the instigation of tho Mayor ofHastings the local people have decidedto erect an emergency hospital andmaternity home as a war memorial ata cost of £14,000 to £15,000 on an areaof about seven acres. Tho Minister ofPublic Health has promised a. & for £
subsidy up to £IOOO.Lovers of the homely broad bean will
regret to learn that the beautiful butenergetic bumble bee is likely to causetho crop to be a failure this year (saysan exchange). The reason is that thebee punctures the blossom to extract thehoney, with the result that the flowerwithers and drops off, which means nobeans. One farmer states that an areahe planted will practically not yield anybeans this year, and in private' gardens,similar damage is being done.
New Zealand has benefited from somevaluable gifts from the pdblic. Amonga fow may be mentioned the bequests tothe city of Auckland of Sir John LoganCampbell, amounting to over £250,000;the Dihvorth bequest for schools in theAuckland district amounting to £150,-000; Mr T. Cawthron's (Nelson) gift of£240,000; the Turnbull (Il'awke.s Bay)bequest of £IOO,OOO, and others. ThePrime Minister mentioned these figureslast week.
Anoticeable increase in the number ofoverseas visitors to New Zealand is re-ported by the officer in charge of theAuckland Government 'Tourist Bureau.Many Americans have recently arrivedby the Vancouver boats, to make a tourof the Dominion. America is appar-ently undergoing the same experience asEngland with regard to difficulty in se-curing passages off overseas vessels,however, and the demand,by people de-siring to visit New Zealand is much inexcess of the accommodation availableto bring them. The near approach ofthe Christmas holidays is also bringinga large number of inquiries, and thereis every indication that record businesswill be done by the Tourist Departmentduring the coming summer.
A motorist at Blenheim was penalisedto the extent of £ls 9s fid last, weelcon charges of failing to stop his carwhen an accident had taken place, driv-ing at a greater speed than fifteen milesan hour, and driving on a public thor-oughfare in a manlier dangerous to thesafety of the public. The defendant'scar collided with a cyclist, and insteadof waiting to see if he could renderassistance, he drove on. Mr P. C, Rol-lings, S.M., whin heard the ease, said itwas the duty or every motorist to rtopwhen an accident had taken place, inthe interests of humanity. It might benecessary to convey an injured personto the hospital or to go for a doctor.
' To drop over a declivity of 23ft., in amotor car, sweep away a oft galvanisediron fence, negotiate the trees of anorchard, pass on out into the fresh airof the roadway, and be able to say "itnever touched me," is not what evorydriver can say he accomplished whenpractising for his "ticket." Yet it hasbeen done, and tho sceptical may seewhere the tornado on wheels made' lightof the fence concerned by standing onDyer's Pass Road above the RhodesCovaleseent Home (says a Greymouthpaper). By some means the motorist—he surely deserves the name—passedover the channelling and footpnth on theright-hand side of the road, in endeav-ouring to turn, and proceeded down thebank, at the bottom of which there isa galvanised iron fence. This obstaclewas flattened for some distance by theimpact, and the car went on, little "dam-aged, through the orchard.
Notwithstanding the fact that theproperty boom in Wellington commen-ced as far back as 1910, prices appearto be still advancing.. Two instancesmay be cited of sales within the lastfeiv weeks. In one of these cases a sub-urban property "was purchased at £9OO,and as the owner was transferred toto another place he sold it within acouple of weeks at £llOO. The othercase is that of a property in one of theoutlying suburbs. It was sold at£I9OO, and resold a few weeks later at£2200. In one favorite suburb of Wel-lington the ruling prices for residentialproperties with freehold sections of about40ft frontage, and houses of say sixrooms thereon, run from £IBOO to £2OOO.Rents are also extremely high. For in-stance, a part of a house comprisingthree rooms with Use of kitchen,'' is rent-ed at 37s tid per week, and this place issome distance from the city.
The old girls of the NewPlymouth High School were suc-cessful in raising a considerablesum of money last year for the purposeof buying books and pictures for the.scliool. These have now been obtainedand will be formally presented on Sat-urday, November 29, when the old girlsare holding a re-union. There will be agarden party during the afternoon,when they are to be the guests of thopresent girls, while in the evening a din-ner is to be held in the assemlby room.

By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright,Received Nov, fl, 5.5 p.m.
Hobart, Nov. 5.As a result of extensive laboratory
tests Drs, Labor and Haddon, of theMental Disease Hospital, claim to liavemade an important discovery in connec-tion with pneumonic influenza.
The investigations revealed live or sixorganisms and wherever there werepneumonic symptoms they found an or-ganism and a gram negative diplococcipresent. Where pneumonic symptomswere undeveloped this organism was ab-sent. They succeeded in cultivating theorganism, which means that a vaccinelias been obtained which ought to proveas effective as antitoxine in diphtheria.They also discovered that for weeksand even months after the pneumonicjpatient recovered, most of the organisms,and always tjie gram negative diplococciwere present in the sputum. These per-sons were potential carriers.—Aus.-N.Z.Cable Assn.

CITIZENS' BAND.
The visit of the New Plymouth Citi-zens' Band to Tariki yesterday provid-ed a red-letter day, musically, in thehistory of the district. The band lefttown at 9 a.m., and arrival at Ingle-wood they gave a short programme onthe band rotunda in the centre of thetown. There was a goodly gatheringof townspeople present. The itemswere greatly appreciated by the citi-zens, and Mr. Humphries, in the ab-sence of the Mayor, conveyed theirthanks to Mr McLeocl and the band forthe music, incidentally suggesting thatthe hat might be taken round with ad-vantage. This was a pleasant surprisefor the bandsmen, as such a proceedingwas not even hinted at. We under-stand that the "hat" realised £2 10sCd. The members then proceeded oiltheir journey, and reached Tariki justbefore noon. Stands were quicklyerected, and selections given before theluncheon adjournment. The afternoon'sprogramme was a musical feast for theiar»e gathering, there being a strongcontingent present from Stratford andInglewood. Mr. McLeod was speciallyhappy in his choice of items, and it, wasnot surprising to find that the dav's en-jovment, so far as it concerned themusicians from New Plymouth, was alltoo soon over from the country people'spoint of view. Tt speaks well for thebandsmen, when it is stated that severalitems had to-be played by special re-quest, while some even had to be re-peated. The band are loud in theirpraise of the treatment they receiyedat thi-> hands of all concerned, particu-larly the ladies' refreshment committee.Ringing cheers were exchanged as thebijr motor moved off on the homewardjourney, and the hand committee wouldlike to convey their thanks to MrBremmuhl for the way he convevedthem to and from the sports. Theparty reached town about 0,15 p.m., af-ter a most enjoyable time. Mr. E.Sole, chairman of the Citizens' Commit-tee, accompanied the band, and in theafternoon Archdcpnn nnd Mrs, Evans,with a car load of New Plvmouth sol-diers, also joined the gathering.

The authorities would not coun-tenance O'DonneU'a repatriation beforethe matter was fully investigated, onthe grounds that a serious charge mustbe substantiated or dismissed.. The Australian Press Association un-
ierstands that the prosecution's case ischiefly bated on the testimony of threewitnesses, one of whom, an officer, ap-parently hag strong evidence.' Theprincipal witness has already arrivedand the others are travelling from Ire-land.
ODonuell is to-day undergoing ail ex-amination by his legal adviser, whose

FORGED "TOTE" TICKET.
SMART WORK BY A CLERK.By Telegraph.—Press Association.
Christchurch, Nov. ■5.In the Supreme Court John Lynch, it
stonemason, was charged with havingforged a totalisator ticket at the Metro-politan trotting meeting on August15th, entitling the holder of the ticketto a double figure dividend on DillonDirect, the winner of the FederalHandicap; also with having attemptedto induce a totalisator clerk to act on it
as if it were genuine, and in the alter-native with having used the ticketknowing it to be a false document.
Evidence for the Crown showed thatthe ticket, was a clever forgery. It wassuspected by the pay-out clerk whoclosed the window in order to examineit. The accused went away, hut laterreturned to the totalisator house anddemanded payment.
The accused, giving evidence on hisown behalf, said he chummed up with asoldier on tlio course and they bettedtogether all the afternoon. The ticketwas given him by his friend to collectand he had no idea that it was notgenuine.
His Honor, summing up, said it mustbe remembered there were some verysmart people to be found on race-courses and accused might have beenmade a catspaw.
The jury, after a brief retirement, re-turned a verdict of not guilty, and theprisoner was discharged.

BOYS' HIGH SCHOOL.
SUCCESSFUL SPORTS GATHERING.
NEW SENIOR HURDLES 'RECORD.
The annual sports gathering of theNew Plymouth Boys' High School, whichwas held on the school grounds yester-day, was one of the most successfulfunctions yetheld in connection with theschool. The weather, though cold andthreatening in the jnoruing,proved quitedelightful in the afternoon, and it wasnot surprising that there was a verylarge gathering of Spectators to witnessthe contests.
! The field was in perfect order and forvisitors and. competitors the day was amost enjoyable one. The arrangementswere, excellent, the officialsworkedsplen-didly, and the sports were carried off inthe very fine spirit which is character-istic of the best traditions of the insti-tution. There were record entries, andall the events were keenly contested andin many cases the verdict was gainedby .only the smallest advantage.
While there were many splendid per-formances that of Kyngdon, who an-nexed the senior championship was themost conspicuous. In his winnings heplaced' to his credit and also to that ofthe school a new record, in carrying offthe 120 yards hurdles in 17 sees, (histime for the heat and the final) being1 2-5 sec. better than P. A, Brace's per-formance in 1914.
The junior championship went to H.Brown, who led the runner-up by 3points. In the under 14 championship4 four events) R. Brewster secured thepossible number of points, his displayof athletics being particularly attrac-tive. H, Fookes won the under 12championship, and that for boys under10 went to W. Hardwick, each comingwithin 2 points of the possible. '
Another splendid piece of work wasthe long jumping of 'Hair in the juniorcup competition, his distance being 16feet, equalling the 1016 record. Thehigh jumping was a keen contest in thesenior event between Kyngdon andWhittle, the former clearing Sft.,3%in.He made an attempt to put on an ex-tra %in., but was not successful. Suth-erland, who was conceded 2in., equalledWhittle' 3 sft. lin. Rickard won thejunior event, clearing 4ft. 6in.
The potato race, sack race, and three-legged race, were all more or less amus-ing. The invitation race was a contestbetween the School, Technical Collegeand Stratford D.H.S., and was won byBothamley (N.P.), who ran a splendidrace, and was carried shoulder highround the grounds amidst the cheers ofhis many admiring fellow-students.
The Old Boys' Taces did not draw somany entries as were expected, but thecontest was none the less strenuous. Dr.Fookes was a hot proposition in bothevents (75 yards and 220 yards), win-ning the first in great style. In thesecond race he had to give place to O.McHardy, a much younger man, who wonthe under 14' championship in 1015.
The hurdles in both sections were fineexhibitions of that class of athletics.In the one mile open event there was atremendously large field which gradual-ly Ixscame well strung out round thecourse. The limit boys (250yds) weretoo good ,f.or those on scratch to over-take, and the hack markers gave up thecontest which was fought out betweenD. Hair (100 yds), B. Gibbs and B,Hoby (limit), which finished in that or-der. The tugs-of-war between boardersand dav boys in senior and junior sec-tions of the school were stern events,the pull between the juniors being ifanything the more strenuous. In bothcases the boarders were able to securothe verdict.
During the afternoon, tea was servedin the Assembly Hall by a committee ofladies, who were very ably assisted bya large nnmbe? of pupils from the Girls'Hisrh School. Mrs Woods' orchestraalso added to the enjoyment by playinga programme of music.
The officials, who deserve very greatpraise for the way the sports were car-ried off were as follow:—Judges:Messrs A. McHardy. E. P. Webster, L.B. Webster. W. O. Weston, G. Grey, EWhittle, T. 0.

INGLEWOOD DEFEAT WAIREKA.Winning the toss Inulewood sent Waireka
to the wickets, O'Donnell and Jenkins facingthe howling of Sutherland and O'Byrne. Thestart was disastrous, O'Donnell being caughtby Partridge off Sutherland. Playing on con-crete clearly nonplussed the visitors, and theInnings became a procession, • the last wicketfaffing with the total at II runs. Aa thescores show the bowlers secured flattering
averages.Inqlewood opened with McMekon ana Nlcholls
to O'Donnell and Waller. Tho first bata-raan in gotng for a big hit was bowled by
O'Donnell. Sutherland followed nnd was wellheld by Jenkins off O'Donnell. Two w cketsfor eight runs was encouraging to Waireka,but Partridge, who followed, hit out freely,
whilst Nlcholls, playing steadily carried thescore to 29, when O'Donnell beat Nlcholls alltho way. King obtained the first boundary
with a fine pull, and than O'Donnell loweredhis stumps. Partridge, aided by luck and poorfielding, ran bis scoro to 16. when Rowlands,
who had succeeded Waller, found ;Darlow and Byrne both played steadily andcarried Iho score from 39 t053- whenley snapped O'Byme up behind the wickets,tho bitam.w having scored sevrn slits'e*Harkneas succeeded, and swinging a straight

SPORTING.
TURF TOPICS.(By "Moturoa.")
The final acceptors for the New Zealand Cupnumber fifteen, the defections being Bonnie
, Maid, Affectation, Lucid, Bonnie Heather,Athens 11., War Star, and Hindi, three of
* which'were withdrawn earlier In the week.To-morrow's race looks the best of good thingsfor Gay Lad, who will probably start an even■ favorite. Mascot, Vagabond, Nobleman, andHealliercote appear to be the oruj- ones likelyto give the favorite .« race. The crowd be-
* hind Nobleman expect that their horse willrun a great rare, but if track form countsfor anything at 'all It should only bo a jogfor the favorite.Talking of track. gallops, a party «f fivesporting scribes, myself Included, were at Rlc-carton one morning when Bobrlkoff went outto do a trial over a mile and a half. TheI big horse was "carried along" by variousJ others at different stages, and the pace was1 on all the way. At the finish one of ournumber scratched his head and said, "By Jove,j but tills is the first time that my watph has
* gone crook on me." "Well, that's a funnything," said another, "but my ticker has1 gone wrong too" "What did you make It?"asked a third. "Two-thirty-two," \fras the
; half-ashamed reply. "Why, that's what I madeIt." chorused the crowd. Sure enough, thatwas Bobrlkoff's Cup trial, and every mother'sson of ub doubted our watches. Still, Bobrl-koff did not' win that. Cup. In fact hefinished outside a place, though he won theG.G. Stead Memorial Cup at tho same meeting.The Stewards' Handicap has closed with anice field of a score, the absentees being Volo,Klllowen, Torfreda, Tlgrlttya, Bonnie Briar,Mortham, Miss Mimic, Wrestler, Murlhlku, LinkUp, Marjery, and Arch Lassie, and of theseTlgrltlya was the best backed. As the fieldnow stands It gives promise of a great race.Desert Gold must surely be reckoned with at9.11, and with Croesus, reads best of the top-iveights. Onslaught, Bon Spec, and Inah area speedy trio, and Kipling and Brackenfleldmay .be the smartest of those lower down.Possibly Desert Gold, Croesus, and Bon Specwill all be In the fighting Une when the lastfurlongs present itself.
Volo hat not been Impressing the toutshy his work* at Rlccarton, and surprise wasexpressed at Ills being paid up for in theCup Volo may not get a full two miles,but he should win a race at the meeting.
Brackenfleld has been working aB well as anyof the lightweights engaged In the Stewards'Handicap, and the four-year-old son of Bonl-form Is given more than a rough show. Lastseason he started twice, winning his lastrace, thj Trial Hack Race at the MarlboroughR.C. autumn meeting.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
EVERYBODY'S.
"SOCIETY FOR SALE" TO-NIGHT.William Desmond is seen at his best
in "Society for Sale," a bright and hu-.hian story of a shogi'rl suddenly rich,
I' sighing for society, and an aristocratwhose sole possession is an ancientname. The girl. Gloria Swanson, bor-rows the impoverished gentleman towork her way into society, and payawell for the privilege of using him as a■fjancee. As the representative of theancient name, Bill Desmond gives a por-trayal which will be particularly attrac-tive to New Zealanders who have seenhim in similar parts on the stage. GloriaSwanson does some of her best work as
- the shopgirl, and has plenty of scopeto prove her ability. The story is wellsustained and has much entertainingpower. Society customs and frocks re:
ceive plenty of attention. This pro-gramme shows to-night and at bothsessions to-morrow, and includes a side-splitting Sunshine comedy, "Whosoyour Father," and an equally funnyKeystone comedy, "The Iceman'sBride," with a fine Topical Budget.
THE PEOPLE'S.
FLORJSNOIS REED.The beautiful and accomplished Flor-
ence Reed gives a ~ne performance in"Her Own ,Way," Clyde Fitch's stirringdrama screening finally to-night at thePeople's. The bill includes a rollick-ing two-reel L.K.O. comedy, gazette andinterest films.
DOUG. FAIRBANKS TO-MORROW.. "He Comes up Smiling" is the nameof Douglas Fairbanks' latest Artcraftproduction, commencing at the People'sto-morrow at 2 p.m. In this pictureFairbanks is said to excel all his pre-vious acrobatic stunts, while the story
is one of the, best yet. The bill in-cludes a Billy West comedy and.gazettes.
EMPIRE THEATRE. |HARRY DEARTH CONCERT
TO-NIGHT.
To-night in the Empire Theatre,Messrs. .T. and N. Tait will present to.Ncw Plymouth music lovers HarryDearth, who comes to the Dominion at■the height of his career, and who, withhis distinguished company, will appearfor two nights only. Mr. Dearth isrecognised as one of the leading bari-tones in England to-day, and from hisfirst appearance on the concert plat-form has been a big favorite with audi-ences. Probably no singer of recentyears who has visited this colony has somany songs on the market, and thereare very few homes that do not containat least one song "Sung by HarryDcartlr' in it. The Wellington session,which concluded last week, stands outas one of the biggest triumphs accordeda visiting artist, it having "had to be ex-tended to an extra three concerts. MrDearth's programme to-night containsmany songs that have made his name a
.household word, and he lends won-derful life to the most ordinary ballads.He has the gift of putting out from asong the type of person represented inthat sons, and he makes the characterline. He has a wonderful voice of ex-cellent quality, and he uses it withgreat effect, his expression and enuncia-tion being remarkable. Mr. Dearth'scompany includes Madame Marie Power,contralto; Miss Carlien .Tnrs, ninnist;and Harold Beck, 'cellist. The box•plans at Collier's indicate a hearty wel-come to this singer to-night.

THE EGMONT SEAT.
MR. 0. HAWKEN AT ELTHAM.
Mr. 0. Hawken, the Reform candidatefor the Eguftjnt seat, addressed a meet-ing of electors at the.Eltham Town Ha.llon Wednesday evening. There was agood attendance, and Mr. G. W. Tayler,Mayor of Eltham, presided.
Speaking first of repatriation, Mr.Hawken said this should not he a partyquestion, and it was to be regretted thatSir Joseph Ward had left the Ministrybefore it was settled. There was muchto settle yet in connection with re-turned soldiers, but some things had al-ready been .tackled by the Reform Gov-ernment in a very earnest manner. Thegratuity question had been dealt with ina way satisfactory to 'both the returnedsoldiers and the public. A very im-portant part of the repatriation schemewas the grant of a sum of money up to£3OO to start soldiers in busine?s. Therewas a strong feeling that this should beincreased to £SOO, and as a member ofthe Hawpra Repatriation Committee, hewas of the opinion that there may becases in which this might properly bedone. The schemewas a new departurein social work and if it proved success-ful witii returned soldiers it may yetbe possible for any poor man to get aloan from the State when entering into"business:. The furniture grant of £SOmight, he thought, he increased, and the£2 a week for totally disabled men was
not sufficient.Coming to the big question of land
foiT returned soldiers, Mr. Hawken saidthe grant of twelve millions for thispfirpose should be a tremendous help tothe. men. He did not agree with thosewho said they should wait till valuesfell before purchasing land for soldiers,and did not tliink that there would beany fall in value for some time. Hefavored purchasing now, provided theland was purchased by men who under-stood the business. So far ilie hpiclhad not been purchased by men w.tocould buy properly. He hail had a longexperience of Taranaki, land, and theland below the province, and his ex-perience led him to believe that menwith a little capital should be put ongood land. The general experienceshowed that if you put a man on u.small piece of good land he was al-most sure to make a success of it, andsoldiers were not different to other men.In such a case the security would bebetter for the State .-than'it is withmuch of the poorer crass land that liasbeen bought by the Department.
LAND VALUES.The settlement of soldiers concerned
civilians as well as soldiers. Therewere some people who did not under-stand land values, and there were thosewho said that the selling value of landshould be the value for taxation pur-poses- , No Government valuer couldvalue right up to the value. Todo thisin Taranaki during the past few monthswould mean a valuation every fewweeks. The Government value wasnever taken as the market value. Landvalues was one of the most 'importantquestions of the clay, and it; was nota question in purchasing land foraoldiers of wh,at the land would cost butwhat would be best for local men.
In explaining his reasons for support-ing the Reform Government, Mr. Haw-ken said there were a very great numberof people who held that party Govern-ment should be abolished. Both partieshad no doubt given their followers alot of trouble during the past few years.Of recent years the Government had be-come too autocratic and w)is not'sufficiently flexible- Perhaps this wasdue to the late R. ,T Seddon. who was a(Treat autocrat, though a great man- Theappointment to the Cabinet of twoyoung men showed that Mr. Massey in-tended to keep in touch w'tu publicthought. He supported the ReformParty for several reasons, and in con-sidering their policy it must not be for-gotten that- the Coalition Governmenthad been in power during the past five*years.
The freehold tenure had always beenthe great; strength of the Reform Party,and this tenure suited the small manThe last election had been fought onleasehold versus freehold, and there weremen in the, Liberal Party now whowould introduce the leasehold to-morrowif they got thp chance. The owningof land by the man who worked it wasthe rock on which all reforms were built,ant', had the effect of putting an endto the revolutionary spirit. In thepountry the freehold policy of the Re-form Government should receive the sup-port of the people generally, and inchoosing a candidate who was a singletaxer the Liberal Party had not donethe electorate justice. Any man whoadvocated the single tax wa-. dia-metrically opposed to the freehold ten-ure. He also disagreed with his op-ponent on proportional representation.
FRIEND OP THE FARMERS.. Another reason why he supported the
Reform Government was that it had al-ways been the friend of the farmers.They had heard a lot about the com-mandeering of farmers' produce, andsome had tried to piace 011 Mr. Ma-weyVshoulders the responsibility for imposi-tions unfair to farmers, but when thesehad been put on Mr. Massey had beenaway. He was away when the tax wasput on cheese, and when he came backhe said lie would have nothing to do.with the cheese men paying ior thebutter men's troubles, and'they got outof the tax through him-
A vote had been passed latclv cover-ing the amount of the butter-fat tax,and it was fair that this should be doneThe men who prodpced butter or eucescwere some of the hardest worked men,and he did not see why thev should becalled upon to provide cheap butter forthe rest of New Zealand. Mr. MacDonald was also Minister in Charge ofthe Board of Trade, which was --spon-sible for many of the embargoes onfarmer's produce, so that the' LiberalParty were chiefly to blame, tliouonisome blame was attached to bothparties. Five million bushels of wheathad been bought by the New Zea landGovernment from Australia at a costof ;L1 .oOO.OOIh Instead of doiuii 1 thisthe Minister should have seen that thefarmers of the South Island wereoffered a suflicient price to grow wheat.The rise in the price of bacon was dueto the Government not encouragm;; thegrowth of wheat. There was si ill arestriction on hides, and what had oc-curred in this case in the endeavour tofix the prices of manufactured articlesshowed how helpless the Board of Tradewas. Tt was easy enoiisli to fix theprice of the fanners' produce, but, verylittle could be done to regulate thecost of living bv other means.
Speaking of the present system oftaxing farmers, Mr. Hawken said it wasnot right that -th?. farmer, as was thecase at present, should be taxed on themoney he owed. but it was
Sir Joseph Ward who providedfor this, • in spite of strongopposition from country members. Con-tinuing, he said that the Reform Party'sprogramme, with its provision for vari-ous works, was sufficiently far advancedfor anyone in the-country in a reasonableframe of mind. The voles were muchlarger than they had ever had in thehistory of the country, and beyond whathad ever been expected. Eor housingtwo and a half millions had been voted.This matter had been tackled in a whole-hearted way, and they must see thatthe Government intended to push onwith the scheme, which was the greatestattempt' that had ever been made tohelp the poor man. The scheme recog-nised that every man or woman shouldhave his or her own freehold and house,and was an immense reform.TO THE FRONT WITH REFORMS.
New Zealand had always been to theforefront with social reforms, and hadstarted out with compulsory and freeeducation, which had done more thananything else to break down the differ-ences between the classes. AVe |hadintroduced the one man one roll system,and the old age pensions scheme, broughtdown by the late Mr. R. J. Seddon, wasalso a great reform. They must takecare of the aged, and the presentGovernment, in bringing down a Bill tokeep the pension at 15s, had done a verywise thing.
He also approved of the raising of thewidows' pension. If the reform of givingevery man,a home of his own was car-ried out it would be the greatest reformin the history of the Dominion.
The hydro-electric scheme was an im-mense undertaking. In Taranaki theywere unfortunately situated, and wouldnot be able to take advantage of theGovernment scheme.
In connection with this and otherschemes, Mr. Hawken pointed out thatmoney could not be spent at a verygreat rate till they got more labor, andhe thought that the Government, inadvocating that labor should be broughtto New Zealand, had taken their couragein both hands, and had done a thingwhich 110 one dared to suggest for sometime past. Now even Sir Joseph Wardagreed that it was necessary. If wiselymanaged and the immigrants selectedwith care, it would be of great advantageto the country. Britishers should bekept within the Empire, and they hadmade a great mistake in the past in notproviding more fully for this.
SHIPPING AND TRANSPORT.Shipping and transport should be ar-
ranged between the Mother Country andthe Dominion, so that the rates wouldpermit of even the poor man travelling.The question of transport, which affectedthe cost of living more than anythingelse, would have to be dealt with bysome Government very shortly. TheReform Government suggested that, bya State-owned line of shipping this coun-try should be encouraged. As an in-stance of the way shipping affected thecost of living, Mr. Hawken stated thatwhen potatoes were selling at £7 in theSouth Island £l4 was being asked here,and chaff that cost £7 in the Southwas fully £l2 here. Part of the in-creased cost was due to the hands theproduce passed through, and apparentlythere was no way to check profiteering.Irregular transport seemed to be oneof the causes for high prices, especiallyfor goods from the Old Country. New-Zealand had to pay very high freightsin produce shipped to the Old Country,but ij was on the things we broughtout that we suffered chiefly. Barbedwire had risen from £l4 to" £6O, £7O,£SO, and as higli as £l2O, and the pricewas largely ruled by shipping, whichwas so scarce that the big man obtaineda great advantage over his smaller com-petitor, collared the market, and formedtrusts. A shipping' line should be pur-chased by the farmers in New Zealandthrough a forced system which shouldbe brought into operation by the Govern-ment. His idea was that a levy shouldbe made on all exports, and ultimatelyreturned as shares. The ships couldbe bought partly by Government nomi-nees and partly by the farmers or anyothers interested in the country. Theidea was to limit the dividend" to fiveper cent, and enlarge the fleet out ofany further profits. This was the rightway to protect the public. It would do,aVav with secret rebates and place allon the same basis. It would not onlyhelp the farmer, but the man to whomhe sold his produce, and was the onlyway to combat the big trusts, which sofar they were not able to'control. Theshipping was just as hard as the meattrust. He did not think that nationalisa-tion would be very favorably received,lior did he believe that any Governmentcould run a shipping company. Theowners should be the men who requiredthe freight and a Government line couldbe wiped out by the shipping companiesThat, of course, was his own, not aGovernment idea.
EDUCATION.Speaking of education, Mr. Hawken
referred to the grants for technicalschools. Eltham, in this Tespect, wasat a disadvantage, but it would onlybe. a short time before they had aschool of their own, making it unneces-sary to travel to Stratford or Ilawera.The vote for education and school com-mittees had been placed on a much bet-ter footing during the past few weeks,and it looked as if satisfactory provisionwas. being made for re-biiilding oldschools and for new schools in growingdistricts. In the past they had followedtoo closely the old English system ofgeneral purposc-s work, instead of tryingto turn out specialists, which wereneeded in Nejv Zealand at the presenttime. They should copy the Germansystem, only varying it to meet our con-ditions. He had no hestiation in sayingthat our system should be altered sothat they could"irodnee men with specialqualifications for special purposes.
THE LABOR QUESTION.Dealing with the labor question, he
said lie felt a great interest in thecause of Labor. Humanitarians haddone a great deal of good. It had culti-vated public opinion, and made it seethat the laboring man was not receivinga fair deal, and had brought into exist-ence goodwill towards him, with theresult that he was in a much betterposition during the past few years thanovtfr before. The sense' of justice inadvocating the poor man's rights hadbeen of great advantage to the publicgenerally, but the altitude of someunions was alienating public sympathy.The wharf laborers had done more injuryto the. cause of labor than .the workingmen realised. As for the miners, menwho received 25s 4d per day, as theState mine workers did, were very'welltreated—much bettor than the averageworking man. Men who had got as faras they hud were beyond the need forunionism, and those'who had to paythe high prices for coal felt that toomuch had been heard about the minors'wages. There were many, too, who(neededhouses more than When
tlie wharf laborers refused to load shipsfor 110 reason at all they alienated pub-lic sympathy, and undoubtedly did moreharm to the workers' cause than good.In the country farmers who had ■ metthe men reasonably had had very littletrouble. He had no time for the manwho worked slowly. If we wanted tokeep our proud position we would haveto be a strenuous and hard-workingpeople. He was not against unionism,but he was against the actions of thosewho controlled'unions. There was morethan a suspicion of disloyalty amongsome of these leaders-rsufficient. to sug-gest that some labor unions were notloyal to the Empire. That, after thesacrifices that had been made, was, ofnil things, the most discreditable. Hedeprecated the tendency on the part ofsome to say that one couhtry was asgood as another. Were the Turks, asgood as ourselves? Some people saidit did not matter who they voted for,but it was good government that placedthem in the position they were in to-day, and bad government would ruinany country. He did not care whothey voted for so long as they believedthey were voting for the best man.If returned, he _ would do his best tofurther their interests and those of thecountry. (Applause.)
REPLIES TO QUESTIONS.Replying to questions, he said he had
interested himself in breaking a strike.When a union took charge of a countryit was for every right-thinking man andwoman to oppose it. There was a rightprocedure for settling differences. Reply-ing on the justice of the people, theworking man would get what was fairand right. By having their own shippingthey would not be monopolists. Theywould si inpK' be taking steps to pre-vent themselves falling into the handsof monopolists. The farmers had notbeen profiteering, and the blame forprofiteering rested with the Ministerin charge of the Board of Trade. MrMaeDouald hud said he had a Bill pre-pared when he went out of office to stopprofiteering, but he had not brought itdown during his four years of office.During the past few weeks a mostdrastic Bill had been passed.
He blamed the coal miners partlyfor the high price of coal, and there wasno doubt that the output had been reti-culated for some time past. When Mr.MacDonald tried to get men over fromAustralia to work in the mines theminers here tried to prevent their com-ing. The means of distribution alsocontributed to the high cost of coal.Once a ton of coal could be purchasedfor 24s 7d. Now it was sold by thesack at C,'i 5s per ton.
The leasehold tenure had its advan-tages for some, but he would say toevery man taking up leasehold: Get theright to purchase.
if the Government was to forego thestamp duty on land transactions forsoldiers they would probably put it onthe price of land. They had to h'averevenue.
The raising of old age and widows'pensions and the housing scheme eman-ated from the Reform Party, but theywere not opposed by the Liberals. Hedid not see how any party could opposeIhem.
The miners had done more to hinderthan help duripg the whole of the war.He was not speaking of individuals.Some, no doubt, were as patriotic asany.
•On the motion of Mr. Crump, whosaid, tluvj* had listened to a manly,thoughtful, and straight-out speech, 'ahearty vote of the thanks was carriedto Mr. iiawkeu, amidst applause l
